   Maybe my source was wrong, but I thought the method of making a Sterling
 was kind of odd.  The drivetrain was Japanese. Check.  Bodywork Japanese.  
Check.
 Leatherwork Japanese. Odd, but ok.  Electrics British.  What??   Why this odd
 arrangement?  Am I wrong? I would have thought the bodywork/leather would
 be brit, and the rest Japanese, this seemed kind of odd.   One would
 think that the Japanese would not look after Mr Lucas as a role model...


Remember the the Sterling (wherever the most of it is built/sourced) is
supposed to be British.  The whole British/masochist eperience would be lost
without Lucas Electrics!  :-)

I kinda would liken it to: "Let me jack up this tire & put a new car over it!"
